MATTERS INITIATED BY COUNCILMEMBERS Request of Vice MaTor Wood to change title to Mayor Pro-Tempore (Continued from 4-22-80) Vice Mayor Wood stated that after further consideration and review of this matter he would like to withdraw his request to change the title of "Vice Mayor" ~4a or to y Pro-Tempore". No action was required or taken, therefore, by Council on this item. Mayor Mercer requested information regarding whether or not the alarm system at Kottinger Place had been installed that the City had allocated $10,000.00 for its replacement. He also requested information relative to the length of time Kottinger Place has been without a manager and whether there is a manager currently on duty. Mr. Walker stated he would report back on these matters. Mayor Mercer requested the Council to consider appointing a citizens safety review committee to review problem areas in the City, primarily street and traffic problems. Councilmember Wood advised he had previously requested a Stop sign be installed at Northway Road and Fairfield Court. He stated that some of the hazard- ous condition could be reduced by cutting back the shrubbery. Councilmember Wood added that there had been several accidents in this area recently and he felt a Stop sign should be installed ~n~nediately. Mr..Walker advised that the Staff Traffic Committee had met on this date and discussed this intersection as well as other areas and it was determined that this intersection did not meet the criteria to warrant installing a Stop sign. Councilmember Mohr stated she had not read previous staff reports on this matter, which had been presented before she was a Councilmember, and she felt she needed to review this information be- fore making a decision. Councilmember Kephart reviewed the three safety achieve- ments of education, enforcement and engineering, and added that sometimes addi- tional safety devices only lead to false safety security and actually increased accident incidents. He stated he felt this matter should be carefully reviewed before making any changes. It was moved by Councilmember Wood, and seconded by Mayor Mercer, that a 4-way Stop sign be installed at Northway Road and Crestline Road. After further discussion, Councilmember Wood withdrew his motion, and Mayor Mercer withdrew his second. Council instructed staff to prepare a report regarding traffic information and recommendations for the insections of Northway and Crestlines Roads, and Crestline Road and Valley Avenue, as well as Fairfield Court. 2. 5/13/80
